A Pilot Study of Neoadjuvant Cetuximab in Advanced Squamous Cell Carcinomas of Skin (SCCS)
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating cetuximab and laboratory biomarker analysis for Recurrent Skin Cancer and Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Skin. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects and how well cetuximab before surgery works in treating patients with skin cancer that forms, grows, and spreads quickly and has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, may block tumor growth in different ways be targeting certain cells. Giving cetuximab before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.
